heavy_meta Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hello community! I just wanted to let you know that myself and two others will be doing a 60 hour (at minimum) marathon of the Old Republic from the morning of Dec. 30 to the night Jan. 1 to raise money for the Child's Play Charity (http://www.childsplaycharity.org). Please check us out on our (very barebones) website: http://www.swtorm.com Also feel free join our facebook event! https://www.facebook.com/events/336161479732898/ Hope to see you all there, loving the game and donating to a great charity!

I don't think I've ever done 5 days straight, but I think I'm still young enough to manage 60 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmbraceDarkSide Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Don't forget to let folks know that they can donate $5 by phone (text GAMERS to 50555) Or they can buy toys directly for their local Children's Hospital via Amazon Wishlist.

Look at you with buckets of info. This is all totally true, we'll have to make sure to put it on our website in our next update, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boesmith Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Beware; People should donate directly and not have it filtered through a paypal style service. Anyone can set up these chipin deals and scam people out of money. TO the person in charge; do it directly, don't use chipin, there's no reason for them to send you money, and then have you send it; if you're legit, you will skip the middle (Filter) man out of it. BTW, I do charity work all the time year around. My proof of events for charity: http://www.facebook.com/groups/155025434516884/ Behind every smile is a grin.

Just to clarify, as stated on our website, there is no middle step, all funds donated are going straight into the Child's Play PayPal account. We will never be in contact with any of the donations, neither physically or digitally. The Child's Play Charity actually specifically recommends online charity events to use ChipIn! (as can be seen here: http://childsplaycharity.org/assets/downloads/childsplay_fundraising_guide.pdf), when you are on the PayPal page making the donation you see the email address your donation is being made to, which can be easily double checked on the Child's Play website (http://www.childsplaycharity.org/).
